Going on safari is an experience of a life time. We at Wild Times are committed to make it the best possible one.
Wild Times specialises in organising tailor made safaris
Wild times organises tailor-made safari in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and also in India. The safari possibilities within East and Southern Africa are enormous. Kenya alone has over thirty different game parks and ranches and hundreds of lodges, private camps and tented camps. When you don’t know all the options, it is almost impossible to find the parks and lodges that fit you best. The sequence of parks and camps together with ways of transport can make or break a safari. We like to help you making these difficult but lovely choices.
Well-balanced variety of parks and lodges
Another advantage of booking through our office is that we are independent. We don’t own lodges or conservation areas so we are free to send you wherever seems best for yóu. When you deal directly with one specific chain of lodges, you will most probably be sent to all their lodges in the various parks. No problem of course, but we feel it is nicer for you to also experience some variety in the type of camps you will stay. It’s so great to get a feel of these different styles that are around.
Up to date information
All African countries are changing constantly. Lodges come and go. Some might loose their finishing touch while others improve. Working in the safari business in Africa means that we need up-to-date information about what’s going on. Who’s got the best offers, what are the best places to stay, the best roads, airlines etc. And all this information is so very important when we plan your safari.
Reliable people to work with
Karin Bloem is managing director of Wild Times safari. She has lived in Kenya for twelve years and moved back to the Netherlands in 2007. It is off great importance to our guests to communicate with someone who understands her clients and who knows what safari would fit them best. All other tour consultant have lived and worked in Africa as well, so you can rest assured that you will be offered the best safari possible!
Well established partners
Wild Times has reliable partners in all countries it operates in. As said they keep us up-to-date with the latest safari news but more importantly for you: there are around once you are on safari! So they welcome you upon arrival and are around to assist in case of questions or an emergency.
Booking through Wild Times at no extra costs
As a tour operator, Wild Times has excellent contract rates with all lodges, safari companies and airlines we like to work with. This means we get paid by our suppliers, not by our guests.
So Wild Times is not an extra link which makes your safari more expensive, but we are just the link with thorough and up to date knowledge about the various countries, the game parks, camps, lodges and last but not least the logistics. Booking through Wild Times means you get the best value for money or better ‘a safari of a life time’.
Flexibility
Working in a complicated and often unpredictable destination such as Africa, flexibility is of the greatest importance. At Wild Times, we are small and personalised and therefore pride ourselves on always being as flexible as the situation allows.
Special interest Safaris
Besides game viewing in unspoilt/virgin areas, there is a wide range of activities available: game walks, horse riding in the wild, camel riding through the desert, balloon safaris, playing golf. Or canoeing, deep sea fishing, trout fishing, diving, snorkelling kite surfing and much more. Besides the beautiful wildlife, there is still a great variety of proud local tribes. Masaai, Samburu and Turkana still live like centuries ago.
Responsible Tourism
Last but certainly not least, Wild Times strongly believes in responsible tourism and therefore prefers using camps and lodges that are managed accordingly meaning that they care and are involved in conservation projects protecting eco systems and wildlife and that they sustain the well being of the local people, stress local ownership, support efforts to conserve the environment and contribute to biodiversity.
